Olympus 17mm 1.8 (E-M5) and Fuji 23mm 2.0 (x100) Images

The topic came up in a different forum of the "look" achieved by similar-field-of-view lenses with these two cameras. I'll post some shots here, and will add others to this thread later today (see explanation below).
Info:

Olympus E-M5 with 17mm f/1.8 lens shot first, shot at f/2.0

Fuji x100 with 23m f/2.0 lens second, shot at f/2.8

Olympus shot "Muted" with saturation and contrast down and tone curve reducing contrast just a little further

I shot Olympus as above as I noted the colors were closest to "reality", but now the images look too muted to me. I usually shoot in Natural pic mode but those often look too saturated and contrasty, even with both dialed down. Here they are. I'll add some shot in Natural later.

And here are some quick shot taken with the E-M5 set at Natural picture mode with saturation and sharpness -1, contrast 0, curves flattened out. I like these better than the Olympus shots above.
